    Greetings All! My 97 Sport Manual Graphite interior seats need new two tone fabric recovering. Does anyone have fabric code knowledge? I think the factory codes are possibly 5132, 5134, and 5137. Any ideas? Have a super day! Will

    Diag. Codes P303 & P305

    Thank you! Is that the sensor at the bottom end of the serpentine belt? You just made me think of something. Over the past few months I'd had radiator fluid leaking problems. I'm wondering if that messed something up. The weird thing about all this nonsense was it happened almost immediately...

    #3 cylinder misfire

    It was the damn Ford Motorcraft sparkplug that was only about three months old! It looked like it was fouled and burned. I reset the CEL with my little computer and so far <knock knock> no more problems. YAHOO! I would have been totally bummed if it had been the manifold gasket.

    Manual transmission issue. It's very difficult shifting into gears.

    Same @#$%^ Shifting issues Greetings, I have exactly the same issues even with a new clutch just installed and the internals check out.

    EEC - Code 446 Greetings, Ford said they 'reset' my EEC and it was ok after that. I'm not exactly sure what they meant by 'reset'. I believe it was something to do with a software reset. regards, Will
